Not sure why they had to go to the coffee place to scheme just so the dude could find out about them... am I missing something?

Children are dying in the town of Archer's Peak and the ones who survive bring back terrible stories. A strange woman named Erica Slaughter has appeared and says she fights these monsters behind the murders, but that can't possibly be true. Monsters aren't real... are they?

DarioV reviewed Moon Knight #1 Sep 26, 2021
8.5

Great first issue to re-introduce us to one of the weirdest Marvel characters. Of course long time fans may be bored by the necessary catching-up, but for a #1 issue it does a very good job staying informative, quirky and at the same time giving some depth to the character. For now the threat is quite generic, but of course the benefit of doubt should be granted.

Decent new starting point after a long break I took from comics. Arno is not a great protagonist, but the entire idea of Tony feeling more machine than human now is interesting. The cosmic threat of the "Extinction Entity" is boring.

Beautiful art, but I'm not digging the narrative style Azzarello adopts here. There are some interesting aspects to it, like the astonishingly blasphemous and beautiful last few pages, but the overly vague voice-over from Constantine really didn't help throughout.
